    I have a couple thoughts on common oil leaks. If the intake has been off at some point and they didn't get the rear part of the intake gasket sealed correctly, or if the oil pressure sending unit is leaking, you'll end up with a good leak at the back part of the engine, but I'll look clean up top.

    If it's just too much of a mess under there to try and follow the leak up to it's highest point, then you may want to try and wash it all off and then try and follow it up.

    I know how you feel. Got under mine after I bought it just about every fluid was leaking somewhere except the brakes... and they just need new pads and rotors, might as well get new calipers and lines while at it.... etc.

    Did you have the intake manifold off? Most likely its the rear oil seal on the manifold is not done right if its pouring that much oil out. Usually the sender leaking will be more of a drip trail. The rear main seals also tend to leak, but my first guess would be the rear manifold gasket if you had the manifold off.

    Still having idle issues. Cleaned the throttle body today and it was hard to start. After it started the idle was rough and the check engine light came on. I checked for codes and got p0340, p0350, and several cylinder misses. I cleared the codes and restarted. Still got a p0350 and when I rev'd it up it stuck at 3k rpms and started rising. Killed it and restarted and idle was normal(775). ???

    Put replacement motor in, and got it all hooked up on top. Now just waiting on bearing retainer for the trans, and it will go in on Monday, and hopefully will be driving it again then (cross fingers).

    Not today, but yesterday, I drove it for the first time since July 1st (motor issue). Another 5-speed RT on the road I did the 5-speed swap while I had the motor out.

    WOW! Center Console is very interesting. Is it out of a challenger/Charger? Very cool mod. Any info on that mod would be a very interesting conversation.

    Lol It’s called profiling. Cops know that young men in a hot rod typically do stupid show-off shit. Your mom probably looks better to the guys than you do as well. Lol

    I was driving to target with my buddy's girlfriend who had never been in my truck before and she goes "This truck is loud and fast. It scares me haha but I bet other girls think its cool right?" I reply with "Nope not really, my truck is more of a dick magnet than a chick magnet. Old guys with beer bellies love it." Sure enough we pull into the parking lot and get out and some old guy (cargo shorts, budweiser t-shirt, camo trucker hat and all) who was with his family come running over and goes "Wow! that truck looks and sounds amazing! you don't see too many in good shape like this! Nice Truck!". I take the compliment, turn to her, "Told you." and we walk inside.

    In fact that orange civic was the only girl to ever be interested in it or compliment it because it drowned out her fart can at the stop light. "Damn dude, that thing is chuggin'!" lol
